In "Design For Danger," Archie tackles a puzzling mystery when Mr. Lodge's safe is robbed four times in a year—each time with the combination known only to Lodge himself, and changed after every theft. The key clue lies not in the safe, but in Lodge’s recent visits to the dentist, leading Archie to unravel a pattern no one else saw. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Stan Goldberg, with inks by Jon D'Agostino and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 1976 issue features a cover by Stan Goldberg.
